The output from top normally won't show you that many entries. However, when the number of processes reaches this point you might want to get a listing of the processes from ps and pipe the output to a file for review. Something like: ps aux > ps.log should do nicely. Then you can read back through the output later to find out what was running and as who. -- Jamin W.
